Quarterly Global Market Analysis 9/10 -
This one is going to be big, macro, and significant. Multiple things are happening.
We have a lot of things in flux, and this is a time people are scared. It's time to focus. Not time to open your wallet, nope. But to be prepared for all possible situations ahead of us. Focuses: $CL $SPX $BTC #Ruble $RUBUSD
First, #Russia is screwed and #Ukraine made an extremely significant and successful military play. I've been writing on the professional side about how significant this is, but it cannot be understated the impact of these two countries.
Good insights at samf.substack.com/p/gradually-th… . Note it is Russian propaganda to be like "sanctions are not working". Remember, Russia is thought of as a major oil producer who has now limited themselves to effectively China as a customer. Oil talk after this.
Followed up with this second one, which if you note shows that Russia is literally trying to aggressively sanction people with Oil. It's not working. reuters.com/business/energ…
This is very much a back and forth, but profits are focused on helping Kazakhstan. Simple play reuters.com/business/energ…
In short, Oil situation is this: #Russia -> #China, #Kazakhstan -> #EU. Other plays are EU -> Azerbijan and US ->EU export (both ramping up exports). This is good for: The US, and bad for: Russia paying with #crypto and bad for #Oil price.
So if oil is going to crash, is that good or bad? No clear answer. Bad for environment (cheap oil encourages use), bad for market (oil market crash), good for Europe, mixed for USA. So alright, oil -> way down. tradingview.com/x/IDaXY0Lz/
That is weekly though, and monthly has a lot of time to go the other way- but unlikely and we'll have plenty of time to know. If it explodes, could save #Russia and #BTC. So this is global financial war. tradingview.com/x/zaAKhwEu/
Oil crash will hit Ruble and by definition catapault the $DXY. Remember, DXY is bullish on quarterly! tradingview.com/x/ADjxJ7YO/
On top of that we have: #Ruble ( $RUBUSD ) : So strong supposedly, and yet rejects at a key trend on quarterly as well. tradingview.com/x/11qW5d9l/ . You know, when #sanctions started. Obviously with 20 days to go, quarter's not over.
Weekly Ruble says correction time in channel, more down. So, Oil down Russia down. At least for the time being, which invalidates many expectations. tradingview.com/x/0WDGZWcH/
Onto $BTC. Can you guess what I see repeated here? See that 3 month repeat on the left? tradingview.com/x/KTYUBIWA/
And yet stock market ($SPX) couldn't be more different. tradingview.com/x/I8ym7Z0K/ Even an 80% correction on stock market is still bullish territory. That's how bullish that is. What would 80% drop to $BTC if BTC is 1-4x the move the SPY is?
Phrase I like to use is get the hell outta dodge. This would be $BTC mirroring the Luna drop. 99% drop -> 99% drop, etc. Sure adds up to the $1b that has exited crypto this last 10 days and tons beforehand. gph.is/g/EqlQ71n?tc=1
So, we're appearing to be in the most maximum bearish expectation territory. I'm fine riding micro bullish waves, but macro I now see why the fed is saying "lots more rate hikes are totally ok" and they're right.
Let's say we flip? If I'm wrong, we are about to define a rapid bottom and go upwards quickly on the market - within 3 months. But I'm quite confident in this one for the next 6-9 months.
Again, even bearishness is not forever. But it is still where our minds should be for now. And we should be holding our wallets in $USD safely as DXY is clearly telegraphing. Investments right now? Small.
Watch for 2 week and 3 month moving averages, that's where this movement is.
Technically Bullish, but for how long? 🤷 #Cryptocurrency Market/#Bitcoin Analysis 9/11
So, I guess we're bullish for now. Let me add emphasis again: *FOR NOW*. 4H crossups are significant headwind for at least even short term bullishness. Follow the market.
Macro things: #Ukraine has crushed the F out of #Russia and may have turned the war. So all those macro scenarios are going to come into play very soon, be it bullish or bearish - someone is going to make a move.
ES Short Squeeze - Stock market lookin good, Crypto....eh. #Cryptocurrency#Market/#Bitcoin market analysis 9/9
So, there was a short squeeze. A really, really big one. A lot of weird crap happened, but a lot of people keep looking in the wrong place.
Why? Because it's the $SPY that gapped up on it's futures, not some magic $BTC move as BTC follows the SPY these days. tradingview.com/x/THGgHIdC/
Notice the $ES moving up here, hours before BTC follows. Why would anyone wait for this or even care? But I digress, that's not what we're here for. How is all that doing anyway?
What is this noise? #Bitcoin/#cryptocurrency market analysis 9/8
I took a day off yesterday, was too tired with life going on. #life. Anyway, let's look at the market.
First, stock market is gapping up into Friday, which usually implies one thing - an explosive Friday to come, depending on how morning goes. $SPY is about 403 overnight via ES futures, but could naturally rebound by morning or go further. Time will tell. tradingview.com/x/Uv8LtlWJ/
$BTC side : $BTC continues to rise as $BTC.D continues to drop. Pretty much zero volume behind the bounce is ultra telling so far in that people are extremely noncommittal. I think a lot of folks want to scalp a bullish high Friday, which is fine. tradingview.com/x/jckEfwXC/
We're bleeding, but not blood on the streets. #cryptocurrency market/#bitcoin Market Analysis 9/6 . Today, is well, bearish. I think some people did indeed pick up on the $1000 drop for Bitcoin that happened across about 10 minutes.
Of course, those do tend to shock people, as they are not bullish. Meanwhile, some call groups are hilariously moving the goalposts lower. "It's going to stop at 19k, no 18.8k, no 18.6k!" the word for that is #rekt.
I guess this is more like - $800 drop in 15 minutes, or $1000+ in 30 - but still, not too much of a surprise. The big part there is the volume was significant. tradingview.com/x/ZC5BxVHF/
#Cryptocurrency Market/#Bitcoin Market Analysis 9/5
I just got back from a nice vacation (Yay), so I'll keep this one short and sweet. A number of people think Oil is going to be the trigger for Bitcoin moving, and I will say it's quite silly.
Russia: "Why can't we pull out our $100b in China?" But hey you know, #BRICS ever so strong except when reality comes into play. Here's google translate:
"#China "took hostage" $ 100 billion of #Russia's reserves By investing 17% of gold reserves in the #yuan, the Central Bank stated that it was de facto impossible to withdraw money from Chinese assets. To use the yuan, you need permission from China"
Risk Reminders #Cryptocurrency Market/#Bitcoin#Analysis 9/1
First, vacation after today, see ya Monday. Let's start this with some reminders of the existing risk to miners is getting worse. Not many people mention this article. amycastor.com/2022/08/04/bit…
What this means is $MARA and $RIOT among others are at huge risk of default from leveraging their ASICS to buy more bitcoin (yep, you read that right - double leveraged). While they own for the leverage. Anyway, further the year drags on bearish?
The more likely it becomes we're going to see a drop. How does $BTC look? Not bullish. tradingview.com/x/z2T06uyf/
